New tires(tyres) for my Gen 1 Montero(Pajero)

[Dolomiti]

I thought I would translate for you Aussies out there:ylsmoke:

I am trying to decide on some new tires for the Montero. I am leaning towards 31x10.5x15 BFG M/T. Is there any reason to not choose M/T over A/T as my commute is only about 3 miles.

Should I go for 33x10.5? I had 33x12.5 before and did not like them, but would consider the narrow tires.

I am replacing the horrible stock tires and putting in OME, with the heavy duty rear coils.

Thanks!

I guess I am also considering 33x10.5. I am thinking that these are 33x10.5s, but they may be 34s or 35s.

I'm running some used 33x10.5's and so far I think they work great.

I love my 33x10.50's... I consider them to be about the perfect all around tire for an expo rig. Good mix of added capability without greatly adding stress on the drivetrain. 255/85/16's are pretty close to that exact size (a little bit taller give or take a 1/4") too if you want to run 16's.

Tall and skinny is the way to go for most things IMO. BUT: if you run MUD, SAND or SNOW all the time then maybe wider tires are better for you.

Cheers

I run on 33 10,5 r 15 BFG mud on my SWB Gen 1

I think they are great. Works very well.
I just to have 33 12,5 r15 Allterrain
And the improvment in braking and acceleration is big.
The mud 10,5 works very well offroad.
I like them onroad as well, but my tyres have been siped very much.
They don't last as long but it improves the ride quality on wet and icy conditions.

33 10,5 r15 on 15x8 wheels.
